University Policy on Sexual
Harassment
lUP affiniis that sexual harassment is a
violation of basic human rights,
inconsistent with the purpose and
principles of an academic community.
Sexual harassment of students and
employees is imacceptable conduct and
wiU not be tolerated.
Any imiversity community member who
engages in sexual harassment is subject to
the disciplinan- process appropriate to
his/her classification as an employee or
student.
The right to confidentiaht)' of aU parties
involved in a sexual harassment
complaint shaU be stricdy adhered to
insofar as it does not interfere with the
universit\""s legal obhgation to investigate
aUegations of misconduct and to take
appropriate corrective action.
I UP prohibits retahator)- action against
individuals filing either informal or formal
complaints of sexual harassment.
Nothing contained in this pofio' protects
an individual who maliciously makes false
accusations. WTiile seeking to protect
those whose digmtv" might be
compromised, it must be emphasized that
false accusations of sexual harassment
wiU not be tolerated.
Definition: Sexual harassment is a form
of sex discrimination that is reprehensible
and unlawfid. Tide IX of the education
amendments of 1972 prohibits sex
discrimination in emplov-ment. Sexual
harassment is defined as:
a. making unwelcome sexual advances
b. requesting sexual favors
c. verbal or physical conduct of a sexual
nature — which submission to such
conduct is made, either expUcidy or
imphcidy, a term or condition of a
person's emplovment or education
d. verbal or physical conduct of a sexual
nature— which has die purpose or
effect of unreasonably interfering with
an individual's academic, personal, or
professional performance
e. verbal or physical conduct of a sexual
nature — which has the purpose or
effect of unreasonably creating an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive
educational, social, or work
environment
f. basing emplovTnent or academic
decisions upon a person's submission
to or rejection of verbal or physical
conduct of a sexual nature
Sexual harassment may also involve
relationships among equals. In these
cases, repeated sexual advances or
demeaning verbal behavior have a
harmful effect on one's abUity to study,
five, or work within the academic
community.
Questions regarding the Sexual
Harassment Policy or complaint
procedures may be directed to Helen Soltis,
Assistant to the President for Social
Equity, or Assistant to the President, lUP,

6 THE UNIVERSITY
History of the University
lUP has witnessed a histon' rich in
accomplishment. Since 1875, when it
served only 225 students in a single
building, it has experienced continuous
growth, becoming Pemisyh-ania's fifth
largest universit)'. Tlie current enrollment
is over thirteen thousand, with students
fi-ora thirri-sLx states and over fifty-five
countries.
The first building, named John Sutton
Hall in honor of the first president of the
Board of Trustees, was opened for
students on May 17, 1875.
In April, 1920, control and ownership of
the school passed to the Commonwealth
of PennsyK-ania. In May, 1927, by
authority of the General .Assembly, the
State Normal School became a college,
with the right to grant degrees. The
name was then changed to the State
Teachers College at Indiana,
Pennsylvania. In 1959, the legislature
approved a change of name to Indiana
State College: in the 1960s there followed
a rapid growth in the liberal arts program.
In December. 1965. Indiana was
redesignated Indiana Universit)- of
Pennsyh-ania and given the authorit)' to
expand its curriculum and to grant
degrees at the masters level. .\t this time
the first doctoral program was initiated.
Recendy, lUP was recognized in the
Princeton Review's 2001 edition ofTTie
Best 331 Colleges and in Careers and
Colleges magazine. The Robert E. Cook
Honors College was featured in the 2000
publication Cool Colleges by Donald
Asher.

Master of Fine Arts, Master of Science,
Doctor of Psychology, Doctor of
Exlucation. and Doctor of Philosophy
degrees. Nondegree programs leading to
certification in v-arious teacliing and
school service fields are also a\'ailable.
The universitv' is classified as
Doctoral/Research Intensive by the
Carnegie Foimdation for the
Ad\-ancement of Teaching. This
classification places lUP in the company
of institutions that pro\ide a fiill range of
baccalaureate programs and have a
commitment to graduate education
through the doctorate degree, awarding at
least nventy doctoral degrees annually.
In all graduate programs the objectives
are to (a) encourage excellence and
scholarship: (b) pro\'ide depdi in the
student's special field; and (c) stimulate
enthusiasm for continued cultural and
professional growth on the part of the
student.
The Graduate School and Research stafif
is assisted in its daily fiinctioning by a)
the Graduate Committee, a standing
committee of the Universitv- Senate
concerned widi graduate program
curriculum and pohc)' matters: b) the
Graduate Student .Assembly, an elected
graduate student body representative of
all campus academic departments
offering graduate programs: and c) the
chairpersons and coordinators of
departments oflTering graduate programs.

Guidelines for Student Conduct
IL P is an academic communit\- within
the socien" at large. As a communit)'. it
has formulated a code of standards and
exp)€ctarions which the iirmersit%'
considers to be consistent with its
piupose as an educational institution.
IL P reaffirms the principle of students"
rights coupled with an acceptance of fiJl
responsibiUtv' for one's behavior and the
resulting consequences. -\s a member of
the academic communirv" and of the
larger society-, a student retains the rights,
protections, guarantees, and
responsibihties which are held by all
citizens.
The judicial system of lUF exists to
review all alleged academic and
beha\ioral violations as well as violations
of federal, state, and local ordinances.
The primary- intent of this educational
svstem is to promote a positrve behavioral
change in students while also protecting
the rights and promoting the safety- and
securir\- of the members of the imiversity-
community-. The system holcb students
accountable for their actions when
regulations or statutes have been violated.
A complete statement of regulations is
available in the student handbook at
wutti. iup.tdu/studentaffairs/sourc^.
Student Cooperative Association
The Student Cooperative .\ssociation has
plaved a broad role in the cocurricular life
of the imiv-ersity for more than sixty-
years. All students, faculty-, and staff who
pay the .Activity Fee are members of the
association. \ irtually all campuswide
activities outside the instructional
program are sponsored whoUy- or in part
by the association.
The Activity- Fee is the chief source of
income for the association's programs.
The student's I-Card will admit him/her
free of charge or at a reduced fee to
universitv- social, cultural, and athletic
events. Other income for the association
comes from the profits of the Co-op Store
and from events sponsored by the
association.
The Student Cooperative Association
operates the recently- expanded Hadley
Union Building (HUB) complex, which
houses the Co-op Store, and the Co-op
Recreational Park. The HUB. built by
association members through the .Activity
Fee. offers many- facihties for use by- the
unrversity- community-. The Co-op
Recreational Park comprises 280 acres of
wooded hillsides and fields. Included are
a lodge building which will accommodate
groups of up to Uvo hundred people, a ski
hut. an eighteen-station exercise course,
cross-country- skiing and hiking trails,
picnic shelter, archery range, golf practice
range, two ballfields. and a batting cage.
Cocurricular Activities and
Student Organizations
As participating members of the lUP
community-, students occupy a
responsible role in governance of the
campus. Since a valuable part of
education Ues in participation in groups
in which the need for e.xperience in
leadership, social and commumty
responsibihtv. intellectual curiosity, and
special interests can be met. participation
in \-aried organizations is available and
encouraged.
There are currendy more than two
hundred active student organizations at
lUP. advised by faculty or staff members
selected by- the students. Students are
also encouraged to initiate and support
new groups which reQect interests not
represented bv existing organizations.
Graduate Student Assembly
Each lUP department offering a graduate
program is required to establish a
graduate committee and is urged, but not
required, to form an association for its
graduate students. On a universitywide
basis, the Graduate Student Assembly
(GSA) is the graduate students"
organization. The GS.A is composed of
two representatives (and frequendy an
alternate) elected by the frill-time and
part-time graduate students of the
department. It serves graduate students
through voting representation on the
Senate Graduate Committee and the
Universitv- Senate, by making
recommendations about graduate student
affairs to the Graduate Committee and/or
the dean of the Graduate School and
Research, and by working through other
university- committees and channeb to
improve the social, intellectual, and
cultural life of graduate students. All
graduate students are encouraged and
welcome to participate in the GS.A.

Transfer Credits
Up to sLx credits of graduate work taken
as a graduate student and up to twelve
graduate credits through approved
interinstitutional agreements may. with
written approval, be incorporated as part
of the graduate student's program at lUP.
These courses must have been completed
at a regionally accredited institution,
within the past five years, and the grade
earned must be a "B" or its equivalent or
better. The time limitation rule and
residenq.' requirements (cited later in this
catalog) pertain without modification to
transfer credits.
To request the transfer of credits, the
student is to provide the Graduate School
and Research with a written request
indicating the course to be considered.
.\ccompan)ing the request will be a
catalog course description or course
syllabus. An official graduate transcript
showing the earned credits must be
provided by the school at which the
credits were taken. To be considered
ofiicial. the transcript must amve in a
sealed envelope bearing the official seal of
the issuing institution. The request is
reviewed in the Graduate School and
Research and the academic department.
.\fter a decision is rendered by the
Graduate School and Research, the
Registrar's Office, student's department,
and the student are notified of the transfer
decision.
Students wishing to transfer credits fi'om
another institution while enrolled at lUP
must receive advance written
authorization for credit acceptance from
the Graduate School and Research and
the academic department. The review
process is as described in the preceding
paragraph.
If transfer credits are approved, only the
credit, not the grade or accompanying
qualitv" points, will appear on the
student's lUP transcript.
Transfer credits are not posted to the
student's lUP graduate record until the
student has been admitted to degree
candidacv.
Degree Candidacy
Students are reviewed for degree
candidacy the semester following the
completion of 12 hours of graduate
credits. (Some departments require more
than twelve credits for candidacy.)
Students must be enrolled in course work
to be considered for candidacv- status. To
be admitted to candidacy, students must
have achieved a cumulative grade point
average of 3.0 or higher in all graduate
course work and must have met all
program requirements to the satisfaction
of the department.
Students who are not granted candidacv-
after completing twelve graduate credits
must satisfy- all candidacv- requirements
during the next semester. At the end of
this additional term, students will be
granted candidacy or may be asked to
leave the master's degree program.
Students with especially strong
credentials mav be granted candidacv'
upon admission to the Graduate School
and Research if recommended by the
academic department and if their files are
complete in everv- respect.
Residency
Master's degree candidates have no
formal residency- requirements, but all
credits applied tow-ard the degree (except
a possible transfer of six credits) must be
taken through lUP. In addition, all
candidates must complete their program's
final six credits of graduate work in
courses offered by lUP. (The equiv-alent
of two academic years of fiill-time study is

DOCTORAL DEGREE PROGRAMS 25
Degree Candidacy
Each student admitted to a doctoral
program must receive doctoral degree
candidac)- after completing at lUP no less
than nine nor more than fifteen graduate
credits beyond the master's degree (some
departments have additional
requirements for candidacy: consult the
program's coordinator). The student's
minimiun grade point average for degree
candidacy may be set higher than the
foregoing Graduate School and Research
requirement by the program's sponsoring
department, but in no case may it be
lower.
Candidacy Examination
In departments which require it. the
candidacy examination is administered by
the department in the student's field of
specialization. The examination may be
written, oral, or both, as determined by
the sponsoring department, and may also
serve as the final examination for the
master's degree if a department so
prescribes. The examination may not be
taken until the student has completed at
least one year of study beyond the
bachelor's degree.
Comprehensive Examination
This examination is given, usually upon
the candidate's completion of
coursework, to determine the student's
progress in the degree field and fields
related to it and the student's likehhood
of success in his or her research-
dissertation phase. The examination may
be written, oral, or both and is not
necessarily limited to areas in which the
candidate has taken course work.
Reexamination
A student who fails the candidacy
examination, or any part of the
comprehensive examination, qualifying
examination, or any of the examinations
in foreign languages and/or computer
language, may request reexamination not
earlier than one semester following the
time of failure, nor later than one year
after that date. No student is permitted a
third examinadon without a
recommendation to that effect from the
degree program's sponsoring department
and the approval of the Senate Graduate
Committee. Exceptions to this pohcy for
programs can be made only vnth the
approval of the Senate Graduate
Conmiittee.
Foreign Language/Research
Tool Options
Foreign language and/or research tool
requirements for doctoral degrees van.-
from program to program. In most cases,
programs offer options for meeting these
requirements. Students should consult
witli the department sponsoring the
degree for specific information and
guidance on meeting these requirements.
Dissertation
A dissertation is required of all doctoral
candidates and must demonstrate the
candidate's mastery of his/her research
and reflect the results of an original
investigation in the principal field of
study. The goal should be to make a
definite original contribution to
knowledge in the field.
Dissertation Committee
The dissertation committee may
supervise several aspects of the student's
degree program from the point at which
he/she is admitted to doctoral degree
candidacy through defense of the
dissertation. Students must consult with
the sponsoring department to determine
which supervisory roles apply. The
committee may approve the student's
plan of study: arrange for the candidacy
examination: arrange for the
comprehensive examination: and oversee
the candidate's general supervision
related to research, the dissertation, and
the general meeting of degree
requirements.
Research Proposal
After the candidate has passed the
comprehensive examination and has done
extensive preliminar)' proposal research,
he/she must present and defend a
research proposal before the dissertation
committee and the academic community.
A copy of the proposal must be placed in
the hands of all committee members at
least two weeks in advance of the
scheduled meeting. The proposal must
be found satisfactor\- by all members of
the committee before the candidate may
proceed with the dissertation. The
Thesis/Dissertation Manual outfines this
procedure and is available from the
Graduate School and Research.
Dissertation Process
Upon acceptance of the dissertation by
the candidate's advisor, the candidate
must foUow procedures acceptable to
his/her department and dean in providing
copies for review by the dissertation
committee, college dean, and doctoral
coordinator. The candidate shall then
request a formal meeting of the
dissertation committee, at a time
convenient to all members, to secure
dissertation approval. The dissertation
must be approved in writing by each
member of the committee, as well as the
associate dean for research of the
Graduate School and Research.
Publication of the Dissertation
Following approval of the dissertation by
the committee, three copies of the
dissertation and two copies of an abstract
must be submitted to the Graduate
School and Research's associate dean for
research. The program's sponsoring
department may also require a copy for
its archives. The dissertation must be
microfilmed according to the plan
provided by University Microfilm, Ann
Arbor, Michigan. Guidelines are
provided in the Thesis/Dissertation
Manual, which is available from the
Graduate School and Research.
Application for Graduation
Apphcations for graduation must be filed
by the following deadline dates: March 1
for Mav. June 1 for August, and October
1 for December. Deadline dates are also
available in the Thesis/Dissertation
Manual, as well as in each semester's
schedule of classes.
Continuous Dissertation
For all doctoral students admitted or
commencing course work during the Fall,
1990. semester and thereafter, the
following policy is binding. Following
completion of all course requirements
and of the comprehensive examination
requirement, doctoral students must
enroU for at least one credit of
dissertation or continuous dissertation
every- semester (Fall and Spring) armuaUy
through the defense of the dissertation.
The imiversity will provide the tuition for
continuous dissertation credits.
University fees will not be waived. Upon
successful defense, the grade assigned by
the dissertation director will apply to all
registered dissertation credits.

26 GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
ik
General Policies and Procedures
Graduate students are expected to assume full responsibility for
knowing graduate program procedures and regulations. General
Graduate School and Research requirements are set forth in this
catalog: a description of special departmental degree
requirements is available in each department sponsoring the
specific degree or cerdfication program. Requests for exceptions
to poUcy are given consideration when unique circumstances
exist; questions concerning the proper routing of such requests
should be addressed to the dean of the Graduate School and
Research.
Academic Credits and Student Status
Although many graduate students work jjart-time or fiill-time,
such work must not interfere with academic achievement.
Graduate education at lUP is offered only to students in a
position to benefit from it, and students are expected to maintain
a sensible balance between graduate program commitments and
outside commitments.
Students may schedule full-time academic loads in most graduate
programs. Full-time graduate student status is defined as 9 to 15
semester hours of graduate credits per semester, while part-time
status is defined as 8 or fewer semester hours per semester.
Graduate assistants may not register for more than 1 2 total hours
in any semester and must maintain fiiU-time status throughout the
time of their assistantship award.
Academic Good Standing
lUP master's students must maintain a minimum of 3.0 ("B'")
cumulative graduate quality point average to be in good standing
academically. Students who fall below good standing are placed
on probation for their next active semester or summer term,
during which the cumulative average must be raised to 3.0.
Students who fail to raise their cumulative averages to at least 3.0
during their probation period will be dropped from degree
programs and Graduate School and Research roUs and will not
be permitted to register for fijrther courses. A student must be in
good standing to be admitted to degree candidacy and to
graduate. This policy remains the same for students pursuing a
graduate degree at the doctoral level, except the required
minimum grade point average is between 3.0 and 3. .5, depending
upon the program.
Course Auditing
Auditing is not permitted in a graduate course unless the student
has been admitted to the Graduate School and Research, has
received permission to audit from the course's instructor, and has
been approved for course enrollment by the dean of the Graduate
School and Research. Auditors must pay normal tuition and
related fees. An auditor will, with permission from the instructor,
participate in class discussion, do practicum work, take
examinations, and share generally in the privileges of a class
member. If the student completes all course requirements, an
"audit" notation is posted to the student's academic record. No
student who is required to cany a certain number of credits may
coimt among those credits the credit for an audited course.
INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 2002 GRADUATE CATALOG
GENERAL POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES
27
Class Cancellation
(see Inclement Weather Policy)
Course Numbering
All dual-level courses, open to enrollment by both graduate and
qualified undergraduate students, carry' 500-599 course
numbers; all courses open only to graduate students carry 600-
series and above numbers.
Dual-Level Courses
The number of 500-599 course credits appUcable to a degree
program shall be a maximum of 50 percent of the credits
required for that degree. Some programs may call for less than
50 percent. Students should check this requirement with their
advisors.
Graduate students who enroll in dual-level courses should be
aware that dual-level courses commonly impose greater
obUgadons on graduate students than on imdergraduate students
taking the same courses.
Course Overlaps in Degree Programs
Within set limits, a student mav use the same course to count in
two different master's degree programs, if the course is acceptable
in both programs. However, the number of overlap credits
counted toward a second master's degree will be limited to 20
percent of the credits in the second master's degree program.
Course Repeat Policy
No graduate credit is given for "F" grades, and graduate grading
policv does not permit "D" grades. Students may repeat "C" or
■'F" grades according to the following policy:
1. Only one course can be repeated for each graduate degree
program the student attempts or completes.
2. This one course can be repeated up to two times, for a total
of three attempts (the original registration for the course plus
two repeat attempts).
Semester hours for repeated courses will be counted only once
for all attempts made, and the hoiu-s and grade earned when the
course was last taken will be used to compute the grade point
average. However, all attempts and the original grade(s) will
continue to appear on the graduate transcript.
Graduate Course Scheduling by Undergraduates
lUP undergraduate students with an academic grade point
average of at least 2.6 who are within 32 semester hours of
graduation are permitted, after receiving appropriate approvals,
to take up to 6 semester hours of graduate work whether or not
they have applied for acceptance into an lUP graduate program.
Graduate hours so earned have no necessary bearing upon the
meeting of undergraduate degree requirements, and no assurance
is given or implied as to their later applicability toward graduate
degrees should the students be admitted to ILP graduate
programs. Should these credits later be approved toward a
graduate degree program, they will be treated as transfer credits.
Final Credits Policy
All degree candidates must complete their program's final six
credits of graduate work in courses offered by lUP. Under
imique circumstances, appropriate substitutions may be
authorized by petitioning the dean of the Graduate School and
Research after obtaining departmental approval.
Degree EJigibilrty of lUP Teaching Staff
Members of the faculty at Indiana Lniversitv- of Pennsylvania
with a rank of .Assistant Professor or above (or equivalent) may
not receive a graduate degree from this institution. This
regulation appUes also to any faculty' member employed at this
institution fiiU-time at the instructor rank unless such an
individual is already an approved candidate for a degree in the
Graduate School and Research of ILP at the time he/she is given
full-time employment as an instructor. Faculty members may,
however, register for work in the Graduate School and Research
and apply the credit earned toward graduate degrees to be
conferred bv other institutions. Special cases will come before
the Graduate Committee.
Grading System
The following grades are used in reporting the standing of
students at the end of each semester or summer term:
L — Late Grade, Continuing Course
Q — Total Semester Withdrawal
R — Research in Progress
W— Withdrawal
A — Excellent
B— Good
C — Fair
F — Failure
I — Incomplete
No "D'* grade is recognized in lUP graduate work but may be
earned bv a graduate student enrolled in an undergraduate
course.
Quahtv points are assigned as follows: A - 4: B - 3: C - 2. No
quality points are carried by the notations F, I, L, Q, R, and \V.
The grade of "I" is used to record work which, so far as covered,
is of passing grade but is incomplete because of personal illness
or other unavoidable reason. "I"' grades must be converted no
later than the final day of classes in the next regular (fall/spring)
semester after the "I" grade was assigned. The dean of the
college in which the course is offered may approve an extension,
provided the faculty member concurs. A faculty member
assigning an "I" grade must complete a form indicating the work
to be completed, deadlines for completion (it is not necessary to
allow the maximum allowable time), and gmdelines to establish
the final grade. Copies of the completed form will be sent to the
department chairperson, to the dean of the college in which the
course is taught, and to the student receiving the "I" grade. The
■■R'" notation pertains only to thesis and dissertation research
credits when such research is in progress as a semester or
summer session ends. All "R" grades are replaced by the grade
eventually assigned when the research is completed. The ~W"
notation applies to certain withdrawals fi'om courses.
Withdrawals from the university and discrete course withdrawals
are discussed in other sections of this catalog. Note that an "P" is
entered in the student's permanent academic record if a
withdrawal of either type has not been processed in accordance
with established procedures.
The grade of "L" is appropriate for cases in which the student's
work is expected to e.xtend beyond a given semester/session. ~L^
grades may be used for internships, practicums. field experience
courses, workshops, and independent studies that, by design,
extend beyond the normal end of the grading period. Unless an
e.xemption is obtained fi'om the dean of the college in which the
grade was given, an "L" grade unresolved at the end of one year
will be converted to an ""F." If a student withdraws fi'om the
university before the year has elapsed, outstanding "L" grades
win be converted to "W" grades. If. for a graduate student, the
INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 2002 GRADUATE CATALOG
28
GENERAL
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
maximuni number of years allotted to complete the graduate
degree runs out before die year has elapsed, outstanding "L"
grades w-ill be converted to "W" grades.
The grade of "Q" is used when a student has totally and officially
withdrawn from die universit)' for a given semester. The "Q"
designadon is not issued by instructors.
Graduate Study Beyond the Master's Degree
It is not unusual to find graduate students enrolling in more
courses tliaii thev need to meet die requirements of a master's
degree. Such action can be beneficial beyond the personal
satisfactions which accrue, because the added studies may be
well received by employers whedier in business, government, or
the school system in such matters as certification. However,
students should understand that most graduate schools have
residencv requirements at the doctoral as well as master's level
and frequendy will accept no more than 30 graduate semester
hours earned elsewhere as applicable to a dactorate.
Independent Study
(see Special Credits)
Internship Policy
To quality- for a graduate internship appointment, die graduate
student must have a minimum of twelve lUP graduate credits
earned and a minimum 3.0 grade point average: must have been
in full-time enrollment (nine graduate credits or more) during the
semester or summer sessions (the latter taken as a whole)
immediately preceding the academic period for which internship
is requested:* and must meet departmental internship criteria.
No more than sLx internship credits may apply to a graduate
degree unless written approval of the student's department chair
or graduate coordinator and the dean of the Graduate School and
Research (in that order) is obtained. Continuation in an
internship experience by a given graduate student is contingent
upon the students maintenance of satisfactor)" perfoniiance in all
aspects of his/lier degree program. Programmatic exceptions to
the foregoing policy can be made only with the approval of the
Graduate Committee.
*For graduate students active during summers only, or during
fall-spring semesters only, the phrase "immediately preceding the
academic period," etc., refers to the student's last preceding
active semester or summer session.
Coniputer Software Policy
It is the policy of lUP that contractually protected and/or
copyrighted computer software shall not be improperly copied,
distributed, or used by its employees, students, or affiliated
organizations. It is the responsibility of each member of the
university community to adliere to diis policy and to enforce it
with regard to those he or she supervises. If any member of the
community has a question regarding die propriety of using
software, he/she is responsible for contacting liis/lier supervisor
for direction. The supervisor may in turn refer the questions to
the director of Academic Computing of the Technolog)' Services
Center for a decision on what constitutes proper use. The fiJl
text of the policy adopted by University Senate and Council of
Trustees in May, 1988, is available in die computer laboratories
and from the director of Academic Computing.
Program Changes
To insure their quality and relevance, graduate programs at lUP
are subject to review and change by duly appointed and
responsible university groups. Because of this, the university
recognizes that provisions must be made to prevent hardship to
students already enrolled in programs if changes later occur in
specific or general program requirements. Students affected by
changes in programs, policies, and regulations are therefore given
the option of following diose requirements in effect when the
student was first enrolled in the program or those in effect at the
time of expected graduation. The student cannot, of course,
combine chosen elements of die two. Should a question of rule
interpretation arise with respect to changes, the student, the
student's advisor, or both should petition the dean of the
Graduate School and Research for a decision about which
requirements apply.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Upon admission to die Graduate School and Research, students
assume responsibifitv' for knowing program requirements and
following departmental advising requirements when selecting and
registering for courses. Students are also responsible for
knowing the procedures for paying fees, processing class drop-
adds and withdrawals, and applving for and meeting all
requirements for graduation. Conversely, students have the right
to expect that program requirements will be made clear, that
course requirements — including grading criteria and
procedures — will be made known early in a course, and that
course grades will represent the instructor's professional and
objective evaluation of performance. Students have the right to
instruction that encourages the free and open discussion of ideas
and that respects reasonable student needs and aspirations.
Students share with instructors the responsibility for creating a
classroom atmosphere diat encourages maximum learning and
e.xliibits a more intense scholarly zeal than that expected in
undergraduate studies.
Teacher Certification
Ordinarily, students widi a previously earned baccalaureate
degree will enroll as second degree undergraduate students in the
program for wiiich they wish to earn Pennsylvania teacher
certification. Admission is through the dean of the School of
Continuing Education. Program details are found in the lUP
Undergraduate Catalog. There are a few programs in which
special adaptations permit candidates for initial certification to be
candidates for graduate degrees. The current fist of these
programs is available in the office of the associate dean for
Educational College-School Partnerships in the College of
Education and Educational Technology'. Call 724-357-2485.
Candidates for second certification are admitted through the
School of Continuing Education. AppUcants who already hold
one Pennsylvania teaching certificate and desire to add another
instructional certificate must consult both the associate dean for
Educational College-School Partnerships and the program
coordinator in the subject area department for assistance in
developing an individually planned program of study. Typically,
second or additional certifications involve study only at the
undergraduate level. Occasionally, work toward a second
certification can be combined with work towards a graduate
degree.
INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 2002 GRADUATE CATALOG
GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 29
Time Umitations
Program credits earned at lUP or accepted by transfer are
applicable to lUP masters degrees over a period not to exceed
five years from the date of their earning unless the period is
extended through student petition approved by the student's
department and the dean of the Graduate School and Research.
Doctoral candidates must complete degree requirements no later
than seven years after beginning lUP doctoral program course
work. \o time extensions are considered for doctoral students
unless all degree requirements other than the dissertation have
been completed by the expiration of the seven-year time limit.
Special Credits Policy
I. Rationale: .A graduate program offered by a department
constitutes a rationally structured and well-defined body of
Lnformadon and techniques deemed appropriate to the
discipline. Consequendy, the number of special credits that
each master's and doctoral candidate may count toward a
degree is restricted.
II. Definition: Special credits are defined as those earned
through Independent Study. Indi\iduahzed Instruction,
Special Topics courses, workshops, or any combinadon
therein.
III. Conditions:
a) A master's degree canchdate may submit for credit toward
the degree no more than six (6) semester hours of special
credits approved by the department offering the degree.
b) Doctoral candidates may submit (a ftirther) six (6)
semester hours of special credits beyond the master's or
its equivalent if approved by the department offering the
degree.
I\'. Exception: Should a special credit offering later become a
catalog-listed course that is part of the degree program, while
the student is still working towards the degree, die student
may request from the department a retroactive reclassification
of credits so earned. In such cases, the student may again
submit up to sLx (6) semester hours of special credits.
Student Grade Appeal Policy
Grade Review Policy
If a student disagrees with the evaluation of his/her work by the
instructor but has no basis for a charge of "discrimination" or
"capricious evaluation" or "error."" the student should discuss the
matter direcdy with the instructor, and if unsatisfied, with the
department chairperson, and if still unsatisfied, with the dean of
the college in wliich the course was offered. In such cases, the
decision of the instructor shall be final.
If a student believes that an improper grade has been assigned, an
appeal may be filed on the following grounds:
1 . Discrimination: On the basis of race, reUgion, national
origin, sex, age. ancestry-, handicapped status, affecrional or
lifest)ie preference, or political afiUiation.
2. Capricious Evaluation: Significant and unwarranted
deviation from grading procedures and course oudines set at
the beginning of the course (ordinarily in a written statement
during the first week of the course) or grade assigned
arbitrarily on the basis of whim or Lmpidse. The student may
.not claim capriciousness if he or she disagrees with the
subjective professional evaluation of the instructor.
3. Error: Demonstrable, objective determination that a
mathematical or clerical error resulted in the entry of an
incorrect grade.
Procedures of Appeal
Level I: Informal Resolutior)
Ever)- effort should be made to resolve the disagreement at Level
I. The student must first seek a resolution to the disagreement
with the instructor either in person or in writing. If the student is
not satisfied with the results, the student must then speak with
the chairperson of the department that offers the course. If still
unsatisfied, the student must discuss the matter with the dean of
the college in which the course is offered. A Student Congress
member may accompany and advise the student during the Level
1 procedures. Only after all attempts for resolution at Level I have
been exhausted may the student initiate Level II.
Level 11: Appeal Screening
A. Composition: Each year there shall be appointed a Grade
Appeals Committee to determine the existence of the
substantive basis for appeal. The committee will be
composed of seven voting members: three faculty' members
appointed by .\PSCL F. three members elected by and from
the Senate .\cademic Committee (one facultvv one
administrator, one student), and one student appointed by
the Student Congress. A quorum consists of a majority- of the
committee. To take action, a majoritv' of those present must
be facultv' members. If a quorum of the Level II conmnttee is
not available to meet within the designated time hmits, the
Provost's Office will seek additional members from the
appointing bodies. If these bodies are unable to respond in a
timely manner, the Provost"s Office may select additional
members from the appropriate groups.
B. Procedure to Initiate .Appeal: To initiate Level II of the
appeal, the student must file an appeal form with the
Provosts Office. This form must be filed within sixtv' (60)
calendar days of the beginning of the semester immediately
following the semester in which the grade was received. The
Provost's OfBce may e.xtend the sLxtv-day hmit only in
unusual circiunstances when equitv- demands it and when the
student's own procrastination or misunderstanding did not
substantially contribute to the delay. (Note: Grade appeals
will not generally be processed during the simimer.
Therefore, the appeal of any grade received in the spring or
summer sessions normallv- will be processed in the fall. .-A
review will be schedided in the summer only when die
student's academic eligibilir\' is jeopardized by the grade in
question or when the student is a graduating senior.) The
Provost's Office will notifv- the appropriate dean, department
chairperson, facultv' member, and the Student Congress
president of the student's initiation of the Level II process.
C. Procedure to Process .Appeal: The student will be expected
to submit WTitten documentation of his/her complaint, and
the facultv member will be expected to submit in writing the
course grading procedure and any other pertinent
information. Appeals based on discrirmnation will be
reviewed according to current standards of
nondiscriminatorv' action. Appeals based on capriciousness
will be reviewed in light of the facultv- member's announced
evaluation and grading system. The comimttee will review
the materials to deny or confirm appeal continuance. Denial
of appeal continuance must be by a negative vote of four
members of the committee. This committee will inform the
INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 2002 GRADUATE CATALOG
30 GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Provost's Office of its findings. Within 6\e (5) class days of
the receipt of the committee's report, the provost or designee
will notif>" the student and the faculty- member of the
findings. If the basis for appeal is determined to be
substantive, the provost or designee will schedule a Grade
Re\iew Panel within fifteen (15) class days to be convened
prior to the conclusion of the semester.
Level III: Appeal Review
A. Composition: The Grade Re\iew Panel will consist of five
voting members: one academic dean or associate dean and
four facult)- members. The Student Congress E.xecutive
Committee designee may advise as requested by the student
The affirmative action officer will advise in appeals based on
discrimination. The panel will be constituted fi-om the Grade
Review Pool by random selection. The panel chairjierson will
be elected bv and ft'om the panel before each review.
B. Membership: The Grade Review Pool vvill be established in
tlic spnng term to serve for the following academic year.
Using random selection methods, the pool and rotational
order within the pool will be established by the Provost's
Office. .-X pool of three deans or associate deans and Rvelve
fiJl-time fecultv- members will be maintained. In establishing
the membership for each review panel, prior to each review
the names of those designated as primarv' members of the
specific panel and available as alternates will be supplied to
aU parties involved. A panel member may request (to the
provost or designee) disqualification due to a conflict of
interest. The student and the facidtv- member may eliminate
names in proportion to the composition of the panel. Elach
mav eliminate only one dean/associate dean and four faciJtv-
members. The instructor and the student will be supplied a
list of all primarv and secondary pool members. The
opf>ortunitv- to disqualiiv' panel members will take place only
once. Resulting vacancies viiU be filled from the appropriate
[K)ol of alternates so that the panel will be composed of one
dean/associate dean and four faciJtv- members. If through
self-disquahfication and challenges a panel cannot be
consrimted from the pool, then the Office of the Provost will
supplement the pool using appropriate random selection
methods.
C. Procedure:
1 . Both the student and the instructor will have the right to
appear before the panel, present witnesses, and offer
evidence. In addition to those specified in Level III.
Section A, each may also bring one observer, with whom
he or she may consiJt but who may not participate in the
review.
2. The panel shall determine its rules of order for internal
operation. .After hearing the evidence brought forth, the
panel will privately deliberate and render a decision. If
the grade appeal is upheld, the panel will constitute a
committee of three appropriate lacultv- members
(knowledgeable in the discipline but excluding the
facultv- member against whom the complaint was lodged),
who will review the student's work and recommend the
appropriate grade or suitable remedy. The panel will
incorpwrate this information in its determination, which it
then forwards to the Provost's Office for implementation,
ordinarih- within thirtv- days. The Provost's Office will
initiate the processing of grade changes resulting from
Level III decisions.
3. The vs-ritten report sent to the Provost's Office will state
whether the student's appeal is upheld or denied: if
upheld, the committee's evaluation and remedv- will be
included. Both the student and the facultv- member have
the right to review all doctmients related to the appeal.
All doCTiments supporting the report will be sealed and
kept only as long as necessarv- (normally one year) to
ensure the appropriate action is taken before they are
destroved or returned to the individual presenting the
evidence.

rights afforded by the Commonwealth of Pennsvivania and/or
the Government of the United States. Nothing in this policv-
abrogates or modifies any provisions of or rights under the
Collective Bargaining .\greement.
B. Discrimination in this policy generally means unlawful
discrimination. To the extent that any form of
discrimination identified in this definition is not imlawfijl
dbcrimination. this definition shall not be taken to create a

Academic Integrity Policy and Procedures
IL P is an academic community within the society at large. AH
members within this community are expected to accept the
responsibihty for academic integrity and honesty. Academic
dishonesty seriously erodes the quality of educational pursuits
and is unacceptable at lUP. The foUovving policies and
procedures have been established to preserve the academic
integrity of the university community, while also providing a
process that protects the rights of students who allegedly violate
these poUcies.
Policy
A. Types of Violations. Violations of academic integrity
include, but are not limited to, the foUovving:
1 . Providing or receiving unauthorized assistance in
coursework. with lab work, theses, dissertations, or
during examinations (including qualifying and
comprehensive exams) or quizzes.
2. Using unauthorized materials or devices, such as crib
notes, during e.xaminations or quizzes.
3. Plagiarizing papers, theses, dissertations, essays, reports,
speeches and oral presentations, take-home
examinations, computer projects, or other academic
exercises by misrepresenting or passing off the ideas,
words, formulas, or data of another as one's own.
Plagiarism is dishonest and illegal. Waters are indebted
to authors fi-om whom they borrow exact words, ideas,
theories, opinions, statistics, illustrative material, or facts
(beyond common knowledge). Writers are also indebted
if they summarize or paraphrase in their own words
material fi^om sources. AH quoted material requires the
acknowledgement of the source by the use of quotation
marks or indentation (if exact wording is incorporated).
In addition, both direcdy quoted and summarized
material must be acknowledged by use of a note or
parenthetical citation that inchcates the author and/or
date of pubhcation and page number or numbers. If the
writer indents a quotation, it must be clearly set off from
the body of die text and must be documented in the
aforesaid manner. To verify- the v-arious documentation
procedures, writers should consult the style sheet in the
particular discipline for which they are preparing the
assignment (MLA, .A.PA, Chicago, BC, etc.).
4. Using the same paper or work more than once witliout
authorization of the faculty- member(s) to whom the work
is being submitted.
5. Possessing course examination materials before the
administration of the exam, without the prior knowledge
or consent of the instructor.
6. Intentionally evading lUP academic poUcies and
procedures: for example, improperly processing course
withdrawals, grade changes, or other academic
procedures.
7. Falsifying information, including falsification/fabrication
of research data and/or statistical analyses, forging
signatures on various forms and documents, or altering
or adding answers on academic exercises or exams after
w-ork has been graded.
8. Computer dishonesty, including: tampering with or
making unauthorized change to another person's or the
university's computer system, illegally copying computer
software, personal use of another individual's computer
account, unauthorized activity involving another
individual's personal computer system or any system
belonging to the university, and other unauthorized use
or violations involving computer use.
9. Noncompliance: failure to foUow through with
sanction(s) imposed as a result of an academic violation.
The university reserves the right to discipUne any student for any
action that an ordinary-, reasonable, inteUigent college student
knows or should know might lead to the issuance of discipline.
This means the university maintains the right to issue discipUne
for reasonable cause.
Charges of academic integrity violations may be brought by-
faculty members or administrators. Students who observe or
become aware of a violation of academic integrity- by another
student are strongly encouraged to report it to a umversity
official. A faculty member/administrator who beUeves that a
student has violated an academic poUcy may elect to resolve the
matter by Informal Resolution, by Documented Agreement, or by
Formal Adjudication. Sanction(s) may not be imposed upon a
student believed to have violated an academic policy without
following one of these three procedures.
If charges are brought, the accused student(s) shaU have a fair
and reasonable opportunity to answer, explain, and defend
against the charges. The university- shaU have the burden of proof
in aU cases. Hearsay should not be used as the sole evidence to
estabUsh any fact necessary- to estabUsh gmlt or innocence.
Procedures
X. Faculty-/adniinistrators must use one of the foUowing options
to resolve aUeged violations of academic integrity-.
1 . Option I: Informal Resolution. The faculty
member/administrator and student may meet informaUy,
normaUy within seven class days of the observation or
discoverv of the incident, and agree to resolve the issue
without submitting any formal documentation. If the
violation pertains to work being judged by a committee
(examples might include dissertations and
comprehensive examinations, both oral and written), the
meeting must involve a majority of the committee and the
resolution must be agreed to by a majority of the
committee. It is in the interest of both the faculty
INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 2002 GRADUATE CATALOG
32 GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
kaK<~^«S.<£,'?%4'
member/administrator and student to complete a
statement that summarizes tlie incident, conference, and
agreed-upon resolution. This factual statement should be
signed by both parties and copies pro\ided to the student
and the facult)' member/administrator. If agreement
cannot be reached, or at the discredon of die faculty
member/administrator, a more formal process as outlined
in this policy may be inidated.
2. Option II: Resolution by Documented Agreement
a. The facult)' member/administrator may schedule a
conference with the student in an attempt to agree on
the facts of the case and to reach a mutually agreeable
resolution. This meeting must normally be
scheduled/requested within seven class days of the
observation or discover)- of the alleged Wolarion or of
the failure of resolution by Option 1. If an agreement
is reached, the facult)' member/administrator must
complete a Documented Agreement Form oudining
the agreement and have it signed bv both parties:
facidty member/administrator and student. If die
violation pertains to work such as a thesis or
comprehensive examination being judged by a
committee, the meeting must involve a majority of the
committee and the Documented Agreement Form
must be agreed to and signed by a majorit\' of the
committee. Copies are distributed to the student, the
faculty member(s)/administrator filing the agreement,
and the department chair, who must also
electronically record the information for subsequent
entry into die computer database. The fonn must
normally be filed within seven class days of the
conference.
b. If an agreement is reached and the form is filed, the
matter is closed unless the student has a prior
academic \iolation(s) on record. By signing off on the
agreement, the student waives the right to appeal the
sanctions agreed upon in the conference. If the
student fails to flilfiU the written agreement, the
faciJti.' member/administrator may file an academic
integrit)- referral against die student for
noncompliance.
c. If a prior academic integrit)' \iolation(s) for the
student is on record, the matter will be referred to an
Academic Integrit)- Board (AlB). The AlE will
review the case to determine if more severe sanctions
are warranted (see Section D, Multiple Violations).
d. If a documented agreement is not reached, the facidty
member/administrator should initiate the formal
adjudication process by filing an academic integrit)'
referral form with the department chair, normally
widiin seven class days of the conference with die
student.
3. Option III: Resolution by Formal Adjudication. A
facult)- member/administrator shoidd pursue formal
adjudication if:
• he/she carmot reach or chooses not to attempt a
mutually agreeable resolution with the student
regarding the facts of the case or sanctions to be
imposed,
• he/she believes that the \iolarion is so severe that it
warrants a sanction of expulsion, suspension,
involuntary withdrawal from part of lUP's academic
or odier programs, or awarding a failing grade on a
project or examination (such as a graduate qualifying
or comprehensive examination or dissertation) when
resubmitting the project or retaking die examination
is not possible.
a. The facidt)- member/administrator should fde an
academic integrit\' referral fonn with the department
chair, normally within seven class days of die
obser\'ation or discovery of the \iolation or widiin
seven class days of die failure to reach a resolution
through Option I or Option II. If the \iolation
pertains to work being judged by a committee, the
form must be signed by a majorit)' of the committee.
The form will contain a description of the alleged
violation, including the time. date, and place of
occurrence, and the recommended sanction(s) if the
student is found to have \iolated this policy.
b. The department chair will forward a copy of the
academic integrit)' referral to the student, normally
within seven class days of recei\ing notification of the
allegation, and contact the student to schedule a
hearing to re\iew the facts surrounding die allegation
and recommended sanctions if the student is
determined to have committed a \iolation.
c. The hearing slioiJd be scheduled so as to allow the
student a reasonable time to prepare a defense
(normally within seven class days of being notified of
the allegation by the department chair).
d. This hearing will involve the student, the department
chair, and the facidt)' member/administrator(s): the
department chair may in\ite others with pertinent
infonnation. All parties must be given the
opportunit)' to submit written, ph)'sical, and
testimonial e\idence and for reasonable questioning
ofwiuiesses.
e. The accused student may identify' an advisor, who
may be an attorney, to be present at the hearing. The
advisor ma)' only considt privately with the student
unless otherwise determined by the university
regarding a particular case.
f. The student may waive his/her right to a hearing in
WTiting. If so. the sanction recommended by the
person filing die referral will be imposed. If the
student fails to appear when a hearing has been
scheduled, the hearing will be held in the student's
absence and the department chair will render a
decision based upon factual information presented by
the facult)' member/administrator.
g. Following die hearing, the department chair will
render a determination based on die information
presented at the hearing. Normally within seven class
days of the hearing, the department chair will forward
a written report summarizing die hearing diat
includes the outcome, the factual basis for die
determinations reached, the sanction(s) to be issued,
and appeal procedures. Copies of diis report will be
sent to the student, the faculty member/administrator,
and the provost/designee. The department chair will
retain a copy for departmental files and electronically
record the information for subsequent entrv- into the
computer database.

h. In the event that a department chair cannot or will
not fulfill the above role, or in the event that the
person filing the referral is an administrator or
department chair, the provost or designee will
determine the appropriate indi%idual to fulfill the
department chairs role and inform the student and
the facult)' member administrator filing charges,
i. If a prior academic \-iolation(s) for the student is on
record, the case must be referred to the .Academic
Integrit\- Board which will consider more severe
sanctions (see Section D. Multiple Violations).
OtherxNTse. if there is no appeal, the recommended
sanction will be imposed.
B. .Academic Integrity Board (.AJB). The .\IB will hear all
cases in which appeals to the chair's decision are accepted by
the provost designee (see .Appeals section C.l. and C.2.).
The .\IB will also re\iew sanctions in cases of multiple
violations (see Section D).
1. The .AJB will be made up of four facultv' members, one of
whom will chair the board, and tvvo students. .A quonmi
requires the presence of four persons, at least one of
whom must be a student. .All members, including the
chair, are voting members.
2. WTien an .AIB hearing is called for. the .AIB will be
convened bv the provost/designee (currendy the assistant
to the \ice president for Student .Affairs). The accused
student shall be notified of the time, date, and place of
the hearing and the names of those AIB members
scheduled to re\iew his/her case. If the hearing is an
appeal, this notification will also include details of the
charges, including the time. date, and place of the alleged
offense(s) and the recommended sanction(s). If the
hearing is a review of sanctions in a multiple violation
case (see Section D). the notification should also indicate
that more severe sanctions might be imposed. The
hearing should be scheduled so as to allow the student
reasonable rime to prepare a defense.
3. Prior to the hearing a student appearing before an ,AIB
may. with good cause, challenge any member on the
board sitting in judgment of his/her particular case.

be an attorney, to be present at the hearing. The advisor
may only consult privately with the student unless
otherwise determined by the universitv- regarding a
particular case.
7. After hearing all evidence, the .AIB will privately make its
decision based reasonablv upon the evidence presented.
.A majoritv vote of the .AIB shall be required for any
decision. If the .AIB finds the student to have committed
the misconduct or infi^crion. and the student has no
prior academic violation(s) on record, it may accept.
reduce (but not increase), or modifv- the recommended
sanction. If the student does have a prior academic
violation(s) on record, the AIB may increase the
recommended sanction (see Section D, Multiple
Violations).
8. If the student waives his/her right to a hearing in writing,
or chooses not to appear at the .AIB hearing, the case will
be adjudicated based upon the evidence presented at the
scheduled hearing.
9. .All hearings are closed unless the student requests an
open hearing in writing. The .AIB chair has the authority
to make the final decision regarding access of spectators
at the hearing.
10. The .AIB must submit a written report of the decision,
normally within seven class days of its decision, to the
student, facultv- member/administrator, department chair,
and provost/designee, who will electroiucally record the
information for subsequent entry into the computer

C. .Appeals. These appeal procedures appK' to cases resolved
through formal adjudication. Cases of academic integritv' that
are resolved through informal resolution or documented
agreement cannot be appealed, as the facts of the case, the
decision, and sanction(s) have been agreed to by the student
and the individual making the charge.
1. If after receiving the department chair's report on the
outcome of the hearing, the facultv/administrator or the
student disagrees with either the decision, the sanction,
or both, he/she may appeal to the provost/designee.

This appeal must be in vmting and must describe in
detail the grounds for the appeal. These reasons may
include the following:
a. Denial of a fair and reasonable hearing
b. New evidence (applies when there is an acceptable
reason why the information was not presented at the
original hearing)
c. Ebccessively harsh sanctions. Students cannot appeal
on the basis of excessK'ely harsh sanctions if the
sanctions are specified on the course syllabus, have
the prior approval of the department, and apply only
to the specific course in which the alleged violation
occurred.
2. The provost/designee may deny the appeal or direct the
appeal to be heard by an .AIB vsithin seven class days. .AH
appeals involving sanctions of involuntarv" withdravx-al

2. Information about prior violations is not relevant to
determining whether a student has violated this polio-.
However, such information is pertinent in determining
the appropriate sanction.
3. If a student found in Wolation of this polic)° through
either Resolution by Documented Agreement or
Resolution by Formal Adjudication has a prior academic
integritv violation of record, the case will be referred to
an .A.IB;
4. For cases previously resolved by Documented Agreement
or through Formal .Adjudication at the department chairs
level, the .AIB will schedule a new hearing. This hearing
will review all information pertinent to the determination
of an appropriate sanction but will not reconsider the
issue of whether the policv- violation occurred. After
considering the severirv' of the current and prior
violations, the .AIB may determine that a more severe
sanction b appropriate.
5. For cases being heard by an .AIB. the .AIB should request
information on prior violations onlv after determining
that a violation has occurred. Information on prior
violations should be used in determining the appropriate
sanction.

£. Sanctions
I . The following sanctions may be agreed upon by the
student and faculty member/administrator through
informal resolution or dociunented agreement. .AU grade
reductions require the approval of the instructor of
record. If the work is graded by a committee, a grade
reduction requires the approval of the majority of the
committee.
a. Single Grade Reduction: Reduction of grade or
failure on project, examination, quiz, or other
academic exercise on which the student is alleged to
have cheated.
b. Course Grade Reduction: Reduction of comse
grade or &ilure in the comse. If the violation involves
a project spanning multiple courses (such as a
dissertation or multiple semester internship), the
grade reduction may apply to all courses involved.
c. Constructive or Educational Task: A task which
requires the student to examine his/ber dishonest
behavior and which may benefit the student, campus,
or communitv.
d. Other: Sanctions deemed appropriate and tailored

2. In addition to the above, the following sanctions might be
imposed through formal adjudication.
a. Letter of Warning: A warning letter mav be issued
indicating that the student has been foimd in
violation of an academic policv- and that failure to
comply with policies in the future may result in
further disciplinary action to be handled as a second
offense. The letter of warning will remain in effect for
a period of time as specified by the individual or
board hearing the case.
b. Disciplinary Probation: Disciplinary probation,
which is for a period of time specified by the
individual or board hearing the case, is an indication
that a student's status at the universitv- is seriously
jeopardized. If the student is found in violation of
another IL P policv- during the probationary period, a

jjossible involimtary withdrawal from part of lUP's
academic or other programs, suspension, or
expulsion from the universitv.

classes or social activities, and not be present on
umversitv- or Student Cooperative .Association
propertv- during the period of suspension.
e. Expidsion: E.xpuIsion may be considered under any
of the following circnmstances: when there is a v-ery
serious violation of the academic integritv poUcy-.
when a student is proven to have violated the
academic integritv- pohcy- on more than one occasion,
or when a student appears before the board after
already having been suspended. Elxpulsion fi-om the
institution is permanent. .Appeals to the sanction of
expulsion must be submitted to the Office of the
President. If necessary-, the president will consult with

GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 35
F. Records and Recordkeeping
1 . Records of Informal Resolution. Although no official
forms are filed at this level of resolution, it is strongly
recommended that a faculty member/administrator and
student who reach an informal agreement put the
agreement in writing with a copy to each participant.
This protects each party in the event of any fiiture
attempt at renegotiation.
2. Records of Resolution by Documented Agreement.
Documented agreement resolutions are recorded on the
computer database of disciplinary files maintained by the
assistant to the vice president for Student Affairs. They
are not considered formal disciplinary records until and
unless the student is found in violation of this policy a
second time. They are internal university records used
for monitoring students for multiple violations only. If a
second documented agreement fonn is filed or a student
is found in violation of the policy through formal
adjudication, the student wiU then have a fonnal
disciphnary record which includes records of both
violations. This formal record is maintained according to
the lUP judicial system recordkeeping policies.
3. Records of Fonnal Adjudication. Records of academic
integrity cases resolved through formal adjudication are
recorded on the computer database of disciplinary files
maintained by the Office of the Assistant to the Vice
President of Student Affairs. They are maintained as
formal disciplinary records in accordance with lUP
judicial system recordkeeping policies. Records of cases
involving suspension or expulsion must be maintained
for a minimum of two years.
G. Operational Notes
1 . In cases where a violation is alleged at or near the end of
the semester and resolution by informal resolution,
documented agreement, or formal adjudication cannot be
completed before grades are submitted, the faculty
member should submit a designation of "Incomplete" (I)
for the student. The "I" designation will remain on the
student's record until the case has been resolved. Once
the case has been resolved, the "I" designation will be
replaced with the appropriate grade.
2. If the violation is alleged during the semester when
classes are in session, the accused student should
continue attending all classes and continue to complete
course requirements during the resolution of the
academic integrity case.
3. The provost/designee may extend any deadline which
cannot be met for what he/she deems legitimate reason.
4. Requests to constitute the AIB for hearings will be
directed to the provost/designee (currently the assistant
to the vice president for Student Affairs).
5. The university may withhold transcripts, grades,
diplomas, or other official records pending the
disposition of cases, if such action is reasonably
necessary to preserve its ability to enforce its rules.
6. The provost/designee may modify the procedural
provisions of these rules by the issuance of written orders
to deal with particular unusual procedural situations, so
long as no order shall contradict the rules of the Board of
Governors of the State System of Higher Education
governing due process for students, and no such rule
shall deny fimdamental fairness to students by, for
example, effectively constituting a denial of notice or
opportunity to be heard.
7. This policy will be reviewed by the Senate Academic
Committee after five years.
The various forms described in this policy are available from the
assistant vice president for Student Affairs, 215A Sutton Hall,
deans' offices, or department chairs. Questions concerning the
Academic Integrity Policy and Procedures can be directed to the
assistant vice president for Student Affairs, 215A Sutton Hall.

within two vears at a convenient time and location. A lock-step
format in which members of each class begin the program at the
same time, do all the required courses together, and typically
complete the program as a group facihtates the formation of long-
term study groups and extends a peer group or cohort experience
to the participants that becomes a long-lasting neUvork which
develops both business and social contacts. Limited class size
with carehil selection of participants insures a wide variety of
professional backgrounds. An opportunity to experience such a
learning forum pro\ides exposure to peers from all organizational
settings in a cohesive, netsvorking environment.
The M.B..\.-Elxecurive Track program oEFered by lUP constitutes
a demanding experience for participants. The program prepares
each individual to accept increased responsibihties in general
management. The curriculum offers broad training in
foundations of management and basic analytical techniques while
exposing students to contemporary management tools and
technologies. The prevailing theme of the program is the
emphasis on strategic decision making in a changing global
environment.

Undergraduate degree (no specific major), official GMAT scores,
three or more years of supervisorv/managerial/professional
experience, and nomination and full sponsorship by an

portion of the exam only) have been received, the school
psychology program committee will review applications and
select applicants for interviews. Following these interviews, the
committee will forward to the Graduate School and Research
recommendations regarding admission into the program. The

Graduate School and Research to take the Miller Analogies Test
as well.
The progress of students entering the master's program is
reviewed by the facult)' during the first year of course work, and a
decision is made on whether to invite students to apply to the
doctoral program or support continuation into the specialist
certification program. .At this point, the student must complete a
streamlined application process in either case.
Admission to Summer-Only Doctoral Program
(Track B>
Special admission and program planning procedures have been
developed so that employed school psychologists, certified
through a fiilly accredited universitv' training program, may be
admitted to the doctoral program. In addition to the completed
appUcation forms, undergraduate and graduate transcripts, two
letters of recommendation, one of which must be fi'om a direct
supervisor, and GRE scores for the aptitude and advanced test in
psychology, the student must present evidence of being a
nationally certified school psychologist.

transcript review and candidacy exam to evaluate their past
training and current competencies. All certified school
psychologists entering through the Track B process must enroll
in EDSP 750 Practicum II during their first summer on campus.
Based on the transcript review, the candidacv- exam, and
observation of their clinical skills in Practicum II. a plan of studv
is developed which includes a core program of 24 semester hours
of doctoral course work, a three-credit-hour internship, and a
nine-credit-hour dissertation. Additional courses may be needed
to fin gaps in the student's training or competence. AH Track B
students who have not completed a 1 , 200-hour internship as part

be informed of any deficiencies when they receive the acceptance
letter from the Graduate School and Research. Undergraduate
courses in the major widi a letter grade below a "C" will not be
accepted as a prerequisite to graduate study and will be treated as
a course deficiency. The graduate coordinator will advise the
person of the procedures to fiilfill the deficiencies.
Because the program has a limit on the number of appUcants that
it can accept, first priority for admission will be granted to
applicants with at least a grade point average of 3.00 out of 4.00
overall in Speech-Language Patliology and Audiology and strong
letters of recommendation from at least two faculty members.
Second priority will be given to applicants with grade point

considered for candidacy, must complete 1 2 credit hours of
content courses with a grade of "A" or "B" in each course.
Registration for clinical practicum experiences will not be
permitted until candidacy is achieved. Applicants with a grade
point average below 2.60 will not be considered for acceptance.
Applicants for whom Engfish is not their native language must
achieve a score at the ninetieth percentile or higher on the oral
and written subtests of the TOEFL. If appficants are not
graduates of an undergraduate program in Speech- Language
Pathology and Audiology, the restrictions relative to completing
deficiencies will also apply. Furthermore, the appUcant must
provide the program's Graduate Admission Committee with an
audiotape recording of twenty minutes of free conversation with a
colleague and twenty minutes of reading from a professional text.
The committee will judge the adequacy of the spoken language;
the appficant may be required to successftiUy complete speech
therapy before being allowed to register for clinical practicum
experiences.
Observation hours and clinical practicum completed in another
country will be accepted when they have been supervised by a
speech-language pathologist or an audiologist who holds the
appropriate certification from ASHA.
Retention in the Program
No person will be granted a degree who has more than one "C"
grade in graduate courses in Sjieech-Language Pathology. Only
one of these courses may be repeated in agreement with the
Graduate School and Research procedures. Clinical courses
must be completed with a grade of "B" or higher to meet the
requirements for graduation. Furthermore, the practicum hours
in chnical courses with a grade of "C" or lower will not apply to

OF FINE ARTS
College of Fine Arts
The College of Fine Arts offers graduate degrees in Art and
Music. The Department of Art offers Master of Arts and Master
of Fine Arts degrees. The Department of Music offers a Master
of Arts in Music (Music Education), Master of Arts in Music
History-Literature, Master of Arts in Theor)- and Composition,
and Master of Arts in Performance degree.
With one of tlie largest arts programs in tlie connnonwealth,
lUP's College of Fine Arts offers members of both the university
and the extended community many opportunities to learn and
grow. A 1,600-seat auditorium, two theaters, two art galleries, a
university museum, and a recital hall augment dedicated facilities
for each department. Typically, the College of Fine Arts sponsors
more than two hundred arts events annually, including
exhibitions of nationally recogtiized artists, facult\' recitals and
chamber music concerts, performances of Theater-by-the-Grove,
Classical Tracks, Cross Currents, Performance Plus, Music
Theater, and other events in lUP's professional "Lively Arts"
series. The Department of Art also has an active visiting artists
program, and students benefit from the university's proximit)- to
major arts centers of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Wa.shington, D.C.,
and New York City.
Department of Art
The two advanced studio degrees offered by the Department of
Art, the Master of Arts and the Master of Fine Arts, focus on
breadth and depth of knowledge in the visual arts, emphasize
performance and competence as an artist, and foster artistic
growth and maturity across a wide range of creative endeavors.
Those students who intend to teach studio in higher education
settings, or those who wish to become professional artists, will
usually seek admission to the Master of Fine Arts degree. The
overall M.F.A. degree program at lUP requires the successful
completion of a minimum of sixt)- credits of course work
distributed across several required categories of study. An
M.F.A. work exhibition marks the final fonnal step in degree
completion. The Dej)artment of Art has stmctured the overall
M.F.A. degree as an initial thirt)-credit program (culminating in
an M.A. degree in studio) and the final thirty credits focusing on
the completion of tlie terminal degree in the visual arts, the
Master of Fine Arts.
The Master of Fine Arts degree program at lUP follows the
guidelines and standards that have been adopted by the College
Art Association and the National Association of Schools of Art
and Design. Nationally, the M.F.A. is used as a guarantee of a
high level of professional competence in the visual arts.

Department of Music
The graduate program in music provides the student with
opportunities to improve skills as teacher, performer, or scholar
beyond the bachelor's degree. Upon acceptance by the Graduate
School and Research, each student consults the graduate
coordinator in music, who assigns advisors, helps plan a course
sequence, and oversees the formation of the thesis comrmttee.
The Department of Music offers four graduate degrees: Master
of Arts in Music (Music Education). Master of Arts in Music
Historv-Literature, Master of Arts in Theory and Composition,
and Master of Arts in Performance.
The Music Education degree offers students a range of
experiences in music teaching and learning theory, research, and
performance. Students may elect to prepare a research thesis, a
recital thesis, or a final project in a chosen area within music
education.
The Performance degree introduces students to the world of
professional artistrv-. Students prepare a thesis which consists of
a recital and program notes as partial fijlfillment of the degree.
The Music History-Literature degree builds a broad foimdation
in the historv- and hterature of ciJtivated music from the early
middle ages to the modem era. It can serve as a backgroimd for
careers in music joumahsm, concert management, and associated
fields. Snidents prepare a thesis that coordinates knowledge of
geography, historv', foreign language, and music theory with the
study of major styles and masterworks.
The Music Composition and Theorv- degree will expose students
to a broad spectrum of musical stvies and compositional
techniques, as well as experience in composing for solo
instruments, chamber groups, and large ensembles. Students
prepare a major composition as a thesis or undertake an extensive
analysis.

Department of English
Master of Arts in English
The M.A. in English, revised in 1989, responds to the needs of
four groups of students: those interested in gaining a generalist
background in graduate English studies, students wanting to
concentrate on literatiu-e, students seeking secondary English
certification or desiring to enhance their existing skills in teaching
English, and students who want to teach English to speakers of
other languages. Each of the four options for the M.A. requires
36 credit hours, either of course work (twelve coiu^es) or a
combination of course work and an internship or thesis. Each
option has its own set of requirements for distributing those 36
hours, and each has its own admissions committee. WTien you
apply for admission, you must indicate which degree option you
wish to pursue.
The generalist (M.A./GEIN) option b designed for students who
wish course work in several areas of ELnglish to attain a balanced
background in the discipline and gain preparation for more
advanced doctoral work, for teaching at the commimity-coUege
level, or for a career in such professional fields as publishing or
translation. The Literature (M.A./LIT) option is for active
professionals who wish to fiorther their expertise in literature and
for students who wish to prepare for work on a Ph.D. in British
and American Literatiu-e and criticism. The teaching English
(M.A./TE) option is for in-service secondary English teachers
who wish advanced in-depth study in the teaching of English and
for students with the bachelor's degree in English (or its
equivalent) who wish to pursue initial certification. The
M.A./TESOL option prepares students in the theory and
practice of teaching EngUsh to speakers of other languages in a
variety of settings within (ESL) and outside (EFL) the United
States.
ILTP's M.A. in English has courses available in both siunmer
sessions and during the academic year. As there is no specific
residency requirement for the M.A. at lUP, students are not
required to attend the program fiiU time during the academic
year; much of the work may be accomplished over the coiu'se of
several summers — although certain courses required in several of
the programs are offered only during the normal academic year.
However, the final six credits must be taken at lUP. Students
attending full time can complete the M.A. in English in as litde as
a single year or may spread their work out over two or three
years. Thus, the M.A. in EngUsh at ILP offers the advantages of
both professional focus and personal fle.xibihtv-.

Doctor of Philosophy Progranns
There are two distinct doctoral programs in English, one in
Literature and Criticism and one in Composition and TESOL.
Both programs lead to a Doctor of Philosophy in English.
/. Literature and Criticism
The Literature and Cnticism Program's Doctor of Philosophy in
EngUsh is designed for present or hiture teachers at the college or
university level. It features both a regular academic year program
and a ver\' active simvmer program for estabhshed teachers w'ho
wish to complete their degrees in the summers only. The
program develops students" abilities to examine hterature
critically, to teach literature effectively, and to make professional
contributions in the field. Courses emphasize the role of tlieory
in understanding literature, and students are asked to apply
theon.- to their teaching and research in the concluding .\dvanced
Seminars. The Traditional Literature courses reinforce the
student's imderstanding of historical, ciJtural, and intellectual
contexts. The Special Literatures section mirrors the acceptance
of new works in the canon. The focus on scholarly skills in the
seminars and the mentoring relationships with professors assure
that students will acquire a professional competence in hterature
and critical theorv'.
The Literature Program has rolling admissions throughout the
year. Phase note that applications are not encouraged from
students who are not already employed in teaching English or who
do not have prior teaching experience. Because of the limited
18 s.h.
opportunity for gaining teaching experience on campus, student
classroom teaching experience as part of the degree program
cannot he guaranteed.
Early in the program, each doctoral student chooses or is
assigned a faculty- mentor to provide guidance and advice on
becoming professionally active. The main components of the
program are course work, a candidac)' examination (taken
approximately midway in the coursework), proof of a language
proficiency, tlie completion of a research skills requirement,
comprehensive examinations, and the dissertation.
A minimum of 30 hours of course work (excluding the
dissertation and, for certain students, the prerequisite ENGL 674
BibUographical Methods in English) is required beyond the M.A.
Two core courses 6 s.h.
E1NGL751 The History and Theor)' of Criticism 3 s.h,

The program director may permit students with particular
programmatic needs to take up to six of the 30 hours in a closely
related field such as rhetoric and Unguistics, history, or
philosophy.
After completing 12 to 18 hours of course work, the student must
take a generalist hterary essay examination for admission to
candidac)' and permission to take further elective courses and
seminars. Candidacs' depends upon satisfactory' completion of
this exam and the fiilfillment of a 3.5 grade point average.
Following the completion of the 30 hours of course work,
students take written comprehensive exarmnations in three areas
(Uterarv- theor)' and practice as applied to a general list of authors
and texts, a broadly defined area of literature, and a narrowly
focused field of study), together with an oral defense of die
written exams. In addition, the program requires reading abihty
in a foreign language and the compleUon of a research skills
requirement (eitlier proficiency in a second foreign language or

an additional six hours of graduate course work in a field related
to a student's research needs). Tlie final program requirement is

//. Composition and TESOL
The Composidon and TESOL Program (formerh- Rhetoric and
Linguistics) began in 1975 and was reiised in 1986 and again in
2000. ConsistentK". the program has been designed to meet the
needs of En^ish and TESOL (Teaching En^ish to Speakers of
Other Languages) instructors at two-year and four-year colleges
and imi\ersiries. The program's core courses pro\'ide a
foundation for students to build a sj>ecializ€d course of study in
composition or TESOL or both. This foundation is flexible
enou^ to meet students" indi\-idual needs and the e\er-changing
needs of the academic marketplace. Moreover, the core
curricidiun enables students to connect theory with authentic
practice. The program is designed to increase the professional
qualifications and teaching effectiveness of instructors now in
teaching positions.
The Composition and TESOL Program recognizes the changing
structure of education and the interdisciplinary nature of research
into the nature and transmission of fluent literacy, allowing the
mature graduate student to design an mno\-atiN"e schedule of
courses to meet his or her s{>ecial needs. It pro\ides central
courses in research methods, technology- and literacy, and
language theor\'. and offers options for a 9-credit specialization in
Composition or TESOL. Students have 15 electi\e hours in the
program, with courses offered in rhetoric, reading theory, and
literac*' theorv. In addition, students may take courses fi'om other
programs or they may opt to take the second sj>ecialization in the
CT Program.
The emphasis of the program is on the flexible, yet intensi>-e,
preparation of instructors of literacy. To achieve this flexibility",
the program is designed to permit \-ariation in the fields of
concentration. Course and program alternatives may be adjusted
to reflect the personal goals of students in consultation with the
Composition and TESOL Committee, a committee of those
&culty members approved to teach Composition and TESOL
graduate courses (see list of facult)). Nonetheless. aU students
stud\- a common bod\' of knowledge in central courses and focus
inquiry and research on the uses of interdisciplinary knowledge
for the transmission of literacy in the teaching of Elnglish.

The Department of Biolog)' offers a Master of Science degree
that is intended both for the student who wishes to pursue
fiirther graduate work leading to the Ph.D. degree, as well as
those who desire the M.S. degree as a means to seek a career as a
biologist in a number of different professions. The M.S. degree
in Biology has two alternatives, the thesis and non-thesis options.
The thesis option is research oriented, with an emphasis on a
comprehensive research project imder the supervision of a thesis
ad%TSory committee. The non-thesis option also requires a
research component that is imder the direction of a faculty
member. Both alternatives are intended to pro\'ide the student
with a well-roimded biologv' background, as well as furnish the
research skills required for postgraduate positions.

include a major in Biolog)- (or related subject), one year of
inorganic chemistry, one semester of organic chemistry, and one
semester of calciJus or statistics. Applicants with undergraduate
deficiencies may be required to register for prerequisite courses.
The departmental requirements for candidacy for the M.S.
degree are
• Satisfactor\- completion of 15 semester hours of graduate
work, with at least eight hours in core courses.
• The selection of a thesis ad%isor and a committee of at least
two additional faciJty members (in the case of the thesis
student) or a research ad\isor (in the case of non-thesis
student) to guide the candidate in completing the program.
• An oflEcial apphcation to candidacy-, including a research
proposal approved by the advisor, must be submitted to the
Biologv" Department Graduate Committee.
Candidates are expected to maintain an average not lower than

TTie Chemistn.- Department offers t\vo different degree programs
on the master's level: the Master of Science and the Master of
.\rts degrees.
The Master of Science degree is for the chemist who intends to
pursue fiirther graduate work leading to a Ph.D. or who intends
to work as a professional chemist and desires to become more
competent in chemistry. This degree is research oriented, and
successfij] completion of an experimental thesis is required.
Also, two consecutive semesters of residency are required.
The Master of Arts degree is designed to meet the needs of the
chemist who is ciurently a fiiU-rime employee of a chemical or
academic institution and who wishes strengthening in those areas
relevant to the professional position. The emphasis here is on
course work. The student may also pursue this degree on a fiill-
rime basis.
Four core courses, one in each of the areas of inorganic, organic,
analytical, and physical chemistry, are required in the NI.S. and
M..\. programs.* Beyond this point, the programs separate, with
the NLS. student taking more specialized work in chemistry along
with an experimental research problem. The M..\. candidate will
take more specialized work in chemistry and will be encouraged
to take courses outside the sciences if they are relevant to the
particular area of employment.
General admissions requirements: Students should have
completed one year each of inorganic chemistry, analytical
chemistrv. organic chemistry, physical chemistry, general physics,
and calculus. Students wishing to specialize in biochemistry
should also have had an undergraduate course in biochemistry.
.\ student deficient in the above areas of study may also be
admitted provided these deficiencies are made up concurrently
with the student's graduate studies.
*.\n exception to this is afforded the student wishing to specialize
in biochemistry.
Master of Arts in Chemistry
I. Industrial/teaching experience: Before the degree of M.A. in
chemistn- can be granted, the applicant must have had at least three
vears of fiill-time emplov-ment in an approved area of chemistry-. Only
those vears of emplovment after obtaining the bachelor's degree may be
counted. This experience, in addition to the final six credits being taken

This program is the more flexible of the two graduate degree
programs offered by the Department of Physics. Elach student's
program is designed to meet his or her indi\ndual needs and is
develof>ed with the student and advisor working together.
The educational goals of students in many categories can be met
while they are working to attain degrees. Several examples of the
category of student who may select this degree program are
1 . The student whose imdergraduate training is in Ph)-sics
Elducation or Physical Science Education or Science
Education with a strong professional education component.
This student mav need more content than professional
education. In this program, the student may. with the
concurrence of his or her advisor. enroU in exacdy that ratio
of content courses to professional education courses that is
necessary" to attain his or her goals.
2. The student who holds a teaching certificate in a field other
than phvsics but is a secondare- school physics teacher.
These students often require formal course work in a nimiber
of areas of phvsics in order to have phvsics added to their
certificates. This is normally a requirement of their school
district and/or the commonwealth. This program allows
. students to meet this requirement while working toward a
degree.
3. The student who wishes to enroll in a cooperative program,
including those programs with internship components.
Students may earn eight to 15 semester hours during a
semester while interning under one of the special programs
instituted bv the universiti.'.
I. Subject Matter 15 s.h. minimum
Required com^e work in Physics is to be selected from the graduate
ph^'sics courses with course numbers of 5 1 0 or greater. This selecdon

III. Research and Thesis Option
Each Master of .\rts student must complete degree requirements in one
of the following two ways:
A. Undertake an individual research problem and complete an
acceptable thesis. For this option, the student must schedule PFTVS
600 for two semester hours and PIT\'S 850 for at least two semester
hours. If the student selects this option, he or she will have
completed a minimum of 30 semester hours, including these two
courses, for the degree.
B. Decide, with the approval of his or her academic advisor, that a
research problem is not to be undertaken. If this option is
exercised, the student will not do a thesis but must complete a
miniTniim of 33 semester hours of course worL
